Walkthrough
Getting Started
Everything you need for the first hour: your starting gear, the first catch, and what to do before leaving the opening island.
The short version
Fish until you can afford your first rod upgrade, explore the starting island fully before moving on, and don't skip the tutorial prompts — they cover controls that aren't explained again later.
Your first catch
Fill in the exact controls and prompts once verified against the current build.
Early priorities
- Upgrade your rod as soon as you can afford it.
- Explore the starting island before moving to the next one.
- Sell duplicate common fish rather than hoarding them.
Next steps
Once you've cleared the opening island, head to the boss guides or check the fish index for what to expect next.
